Red Prisms

The color of the month at RSCis red.
Well, rosy red with gold accents, not my favorite combination but I'm trying to play along. My block has rosy red and orange red mixed together to sparkle. That bit of gold is cherub hair and a mod print, heh heh.

I admit I am not back to living the creative life yet.

I am in the studio a little bit, and decided some nearly mindless strip sewing might be possible. I pulled out strips of varying widths at least 15 " long. I sewed the light ones together and trimmed to 15" square

and the dark ones together, trimming to 15" square

Place the squares RST with one set horizontal and one vertical and sew all the way around.
Cut on the diagonal both directions. Sew these squares together to make the block

My strips weren't strongly contrasting, but they were in the scrap box, and I used them. Not every block needs to be high contrast, and there is enough to make it interesting.

I considered going back and doing last month's color but it's grayish purple and that is not happening. Too depressing. At the end I will have to see what color I feel is called for to stand in for the grayish purple month.

Did you see my RSC post this week? I studied my Liberated wedding ring to see what colors IT needed - chose sunny yellows, warm golds, and happy sparkling lime greens. Your reds are GORGEOUS - the photos glow. Remember, every step counts - you ARE making progress.

I really like your red block! It made me smile as soon as I saw it and maybe even second guess that purple is my favorite color. Perhaps red is my favorite now!I am happy for you that you are at least getting in your studio and giving it that old college try. One foot in front of the other. That is how races are won. Hang in there sweet lady!

Yea, bright and fun RED! I am glad you are back to a little bit of sewing. I call it Zombie sewing when I just sit and feed fabric into the machine. It is rhythmic and mindless, you don't have to think at all. Sometimes that is just what the doctor ordered.

ON POODLES

When asked “Why a Poodle?” the late Anne Rogers Clark (the first woman to win Best inShow at Westminster) often replied: “They are Labradors with college educations. Aftera day of retrieving, your Lab wants to curl up in front of the fireplace and take a welldeserved nap. A Poodle wants to be fourth at the bridge table and tell naughty stories!”
